About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, clue-driven whodunit with a cozy postwar British feel and a patient pace, similar to Agatha Christie's Poirot; Not for you if you need fast action or short episodes.

Pros: classic cozy mystery; strong lead performance; rich period atmosphere | Cons: very long runtime; occasionally slow pacing; uneven supporting performances
